Westerwinkel Castle

This Baroque moated castle displays characteristic German Renaissance architecture with four wings surrounding a central courtyard and multiple defensive water channels.

Constructed in 1225 and transformed into a Baroque structure in the mid-17th century, Westerwinkel Castle maintains its original architectural elements from that period.

The castle stands as an example of Westphalian noble residences, representing the architectural preferences and social structures of German aristocracy.

Visitors can access the castle grounds from Friday to Sunday between 14:00 and 17:00, with a parking area located one kilometer from the entrance.

The castle grounds integrate with a modern golf club, creating an unexpected combination of medieval architecture and contemporary recreational facilities.
